  1. Yo, I've always wondered what these are like, didn't kevin mcmullin have
    a white one of these a while back at unicon or something?

    I know nothing about Gb4 as a brand but could someone care to explain
    to me and others what it's about? and the design and some pics of their
    trials frames?

    Anyone got a decent pic of kevin's white gb4? i thought it looked
    sweet! 🙂

  2. Doesn't directly answer your question, but it might interest you to know
    that GB4 is no longer manafacturing unicycle parts. GB4 is George
    Barnes the fourth, a guy in his late twenties i believe who made top
    notch unicycle frames. My friend got one of his last, a 26" to fit a
    largemarge/endomorph setup. Last I heard he'd had to move and was 9
    hours drvie form his workshop, making continuing the business
    impossible.

  3. There is a 'picture of GB4 trials unicycle'
    (http://www.gb4mfg.com/20trials.html) with a GB4 frame on George Barnes
    'website' (http://www.gb4mfg.com/), but it's black not white.

    jim

    There are close up of the frames in the' R & D page'
    (http://www.gb4mfg.com/randd.html).

  4. Looking at the picture's of his uni's on the site, how can this:[image:
    http://www.gb4mfg.com/images/gb4_29er.jpg] Possibly be a 29" wheel?

    Either way, the seat is double the height of the wheel at least, so
    he's one tall guy.

  5. GB4 is 6'6" or so, and the 29er is in fact a 29er. i have a trials from
    him, i'll try to find a pic later, but mine is black. his workshop is
    in western iowa and he currently lives in denver.
